We are beginning siman 4. If one recites haadama on a haeitz food, they are yotzei bedieved, but if one recites haeitz on a haadama food, they are not yotzei at all. One is not yotzei with haadama on a haeitz food because it is a sheker to state that the item in question grew […]

We are beginning siman 3. The Chayei Adam writes that if one recites mezonos on any food, they are yotzei bedieved. He explains that all foods fall under the category of mazon, sustenance, with the exception of water and salt, because all other foods provide nutrients to a person. The Gemara already teaches us that

We are beginning Klal 58, which discusses mistakes made when reciting brachos. The first point the Chayei Adam makes is that if one recites mezonos on bread, they are yotzei. The Nishmas Adam explains that the source for this halacha is pas haba’ah bekisnin. We have learned (shiur 1065, 1067), that there are three possible

We are beginning siman 9. The Chayei Adam writes that the advantage of shivas haminim only applies when the fruits are fully ripe, because the Torah’s praise of Eretz Yisroel through these fruits applies specifically when they are fully grown. The Chayei Adam writes of an example prevalent to his time in which pickled olives
We are continuing in siman 8 and have a few points to clarify. We have learned that Chazal understand oats and rye to be subtypes of barley, and spelt to be a subtype of wheat. Therefore, we learned (shiur 1127) that an item made from spelt precedes an item made from rye or oats. We

We are continuing siman 8. The Chayei Adam makes a final list of the considerations to take into account when determining the correct order for reciting brachos between two items. There are some differences between his order and that of the Mishnah Berurah; since we ultimately pasken in accordance with the Mishnah Berurah, we will

We are beginning siman 7. We learned that the Chayei Adam understands that when two items are of the shivas haminim, their order in the pasuk will indicate the order of their brachos, regardless of all other considerations. Based on this thought process, we learned that the Chayei Adam holds that olives would precede barley,

We are beginning siman 6. In siman 6, 7 and 9, the Chayei Adam works with an assumption which impacts the halachos of these simanim. We will learn that the Mishnah Berurah argues on this assumption. The Magen Avraham grapples with the idea that, on the one hand, we have a concept that the closer

We are continuing siman 5. The Chayei Adam discusses a unique scenario of seder brachos between haeitz and haadama. The Chayei Adam discusses a case of one who has two foods, one which is haeitz and one which is haadama, where the haeitz is generally the chaviv, but at the moment the haadama is chaviv.

We are beginning siman 5. The Chayei Adam summarizes the halachos we have learned thus far. When two items are birchoseihen shavos (the same bracha), and the rules of precedence apply, if neither is of the shivas haminim, the chaviv takes precedence. If one of them is shivas haminim, it takes precedence, even if it

We are continuing in siman 4. In the beginning of the siman, we learned the opinion of the Chayei Adam that when one has foods of two different brachos in front of them, they only follow the seder brachos above all other considerations, in order to make the brachos in their order of specificity. No

We are beginning siman 4. Many people grow up under the impression that the proper order in which to recite brachos includes making haeitz before haadama. However, many poskim assume that the specificity of haeitz and haadama are the same, and there is no order to them. In Siman 211, the Shulchan Aruch presents two

We are continuing siman 2. The Chayei Adam identified three indicators for determining chashivus for seder brachos. These were: whether the item was of the shivas haminim; the specificity of the bracha; the order of the shivas haminim themselves as determined from the pasuk. Today we will discuss the third indicator. The Chayei Adam writes
1118 Klal 57 Siman 2: Order of Brachos 3 – Defining Chashivus 2: Specificity We are continuing in siman 2. The Chayei Adam began the siman by stating that one of the indicators of chashivus is whether an item was of the shivas haminim. We explained that significance of chashivus in terms of the

Description: Chaye Adam – Klal 56 Siman 1: Ikar and Tafel 2 – Four Conditions of Tafel We are continuing in siman 1. We learned at the beginning of the siman that there are three scenarios to which ikar v’tafel applies: when one item is primary and the others serve to enhance it (even if
